" Kew, Eight o'Clotk, Oct. 19 " Both the Physicians were in attendance, in the boudoir adjoining the Royal Chamber alter mittly, the whole of last night. Her MAJESTY tvas much indisposed, and very restless ; with, however. occasional sleep, or rather to► pot, the natural consequence of excessive debility. " The Duke of York visited the Princesses shout eleven o'clock, in his way from Oatlands to his house, in St. James's Palace. His Royal flightless found his illustrious sisters already on the lawn, among their improvements, and walked with them here nearly an hour. Soon after 12 o'clock the Royal Duke went on to London. " Sir Henry Haltord went to Windsor, about one o'clock, to visit the Princess Sophia, but is expected hack to-night. " The Prince Regent did not visit her Majesty to-clay. His Royal Highness, we regret to say, has been again attacked with a serious fit of the gout, and was too much indisposed to travel.

I Evening, 5 minutes after 7 [The Times.] We solicit the attention of our Readers to a Letter * from our Aix-la-Chapelle Correspon dent, in this day's Journal ; whence it appears that the important question of a renewal of the Quadruple Alliance, from which such powerful consequences have already resulted to Mankind, has engaged the deliberations of the present Con gress; or at least that the Allied Courts have been occupied in discussing the expediency of some precautionary arrangements, with a view to the general protection of Europe against a contingent re-adoption of her former policy by France. The Allied Sovereigns are said to have decided,:that it would not be a prudent measure to enter formally into such arrangements. We consider this a nice question, and we are not prepared to give a final opinion with regard to it. On the one side, the Congress seems to have felt that the conclusion of a formal compact, made with no other professed or intelligible object but ,to constitute a barrier against the aggressions of France, wouhi be an ungracious, offensive, and highly irritating mew sure, against the .People and the Government of a contvry prone enough in itself to be excited. It %vas probably argued, and with some reason, that three WAR not likely to exist in future any apathy,.or any blindness, to the projects.and - terorizes of French ambition; that a • sense of common danger would always be sufficient to re unite the Powers who felt themselves threatened by it, in such bonds and leagues as might seem necessary_ to a combination of their efforts ; and that if no sense of danger should exist, those compacts would be altogether unnecessary. If the reasoning of the Allied Courts, and the con sequent determination which our Correspondent bas announced, should hereafter prove to have been erroneous, it was at least an error on the side of generosity, and it is one, at the same time, which may at a future period be redeemed. The Ministers of the Allied Sovereigns, it ap pears, have deliberated ;on the propriety of hold ing a Congress once in three years, for a general settlement of conflicting interests ;' anti the pro posal is one which has met with considerable ap probation. * The great length of the Letter referred to in The 7lnfes precludes our inserting it ; but as the substance is given in the article above, and as the Letter itself is tiri-tly founded on report and conjecthre, our Readers, we conevive, will be contented with this outline of its contents. PROVINCIAL JOURNALS. [From The (Dublin) Correspondent.) The last accounts from Aix-la-Chapelle nei ther disturb nor confirm those expectations which have been raised in the public mind, concerning the evacuation of France by the army of Occupa tion. This matter rests altogether upon the first report, and is neither confirmed nor con tradicted by any subsequent information. Con sidering that conferences are daily maintained, and that there is something consequently to be done by the Royal Congress, it seems a little strange that the principal question—namely, as to the withdrawing of the Allied Troops from France—should have been adjusted so rapidly, as not to have been preceded by much, if any, furtnal discussion ; and, being adjusted, it is equally strange, that a matter of so much political importance—a circumstance which would give a certain and established complexion to the policy in the contemplation of the most powerful Sovereigns of Europe—should not have been notified in some authorised way, but suffered to escape from their place of conference in an irregular manner. If the publication of their resolve were proper, doubtless they would have sanctioned such a procedure—if it were not, who would implicitly credit the be trayer of their secrets ? The thing itself, however, is probable enough, let the manner of communi cating it be ever so informal ; at the same time we are not quite free from the apprehension, that the Stockjobbers have taken undue meansto obtain in formation of what is going on, and have disco loured the real state of things in many indtauces, to favour their own projects of interest. GLOUCESTER HERALD.--The following is the remainder of the article which we yesterday ex tracted from the above loyal and constitutional Paper : We now turn to a more pleasing theme, and with the feeling of genuine enthusiasm, tempered HER MAJESTY.—The following Bulletin was ssued this morning : " KEW PALACE, OCT. 20 " The QUEEN has had a very indifferent night ; and tier MAJESTY, in her weak state, feels a want of that refreshment which she has generally de- rived from sleep. • (Signed) " FR. NIILMAN." We received this morning'the Paris Papers of Saturday last. The following' are extracts : " PARIS, OCT. 17.—Yesterday a Funeral Ser vice was celebrated at the Chapel of the Thuille, ries, to commemorate the Anniversary of the Death of the late Queen Maria Antoinette. The King was present. A similar solemnity also took place at St. Denis, which was attended by " Monsieur, the Duke d'Angouleme, the Duke de Berry, the Duke of Orleans, the Duke de Bourbon, the Duchess de Berry, the Duchess of Orleans, the Duchess Dowager of 'Or leans, the Duchess of Bourbon, the Duchess d'Angouleme, &c. &c. &c. " The Theatres were all shut last night. " The vintage is now every where finished, and the produce exceeds every expectation, both n quantity and quality. The extra service of Marshal the Duke de Reggio, as Major-General of the Royal Guards, ceases this day ; he will be replaced by Marshal the Duke of Ragusa, who arrived yesterday from Chatillon-snr-Seine. The following dreadful relation is from the Genoa Gazette of the 7th inst.:— A man named Passadore, aged 36, recently enlisted in the corps of Royal Carabineers, and stationed in the quarter of Saint Pierre d'Areria, had formed an acquaintance with a young wo man. of that Canton. Thinking he had reason to doubt her fidelity, he became furiously jealous, and on the sth instant, arseven in the evening, proceeding to her residence, he ran her through the body with his sword. lie hastened back to the barracks, and without any assign able Motive fired two musket shots at his Brigadier, who was in bed with his wife.— The Brigadier, much wounded, leaped out of bed, and fled. The wretch then attacked the wife of the Brigadier, and killed her with a pistol shot. Passadore barricadoed himself with arms and ammunition in a chamberof the barracks, threaten ing death to any one who approached, and firing from the windows several shots into the street. — A detachment of troops arrived to arrest him ; the first soldier who presented himself was killed, and four others were wounded, two of them mortally. The next morning, when measures were preparing to be carried into effect, which should leave the criminal no hope of escape, he appeared at the window dressed in his best uniform, and after saluting his assailants, he, with a pistol shot, put an end to his life.' " 'Lord Milton' left Pir Ei ti !'s yesterday ,to'proceell i • N., - to Italy. A projet has been submitted to the Govern ment for establishing a basin under the walls of Paris, from whence merchant vessels may proceed direct to the sea. A company also proposes to establish a direct communication by water for the conveyance of merchandize between Paris and Havre. " The Emperor of Russia and the King o Prussia are both expected at Paris on the 2511 instant. " We learn from IVissenberg the 12th inst. that General Count Scheeler, Commandant-in- Chief of the Wurtemberg troops forming part of the Army of Occupation, had received orders from the Duke of Wellington respeCting the evacuation, All the Wurtemberg troops are to return to the Kingdom of Wurtemberg. They are to embark on the Rhine to proceed to Lau terberg and Selz. " From Strasburg the 13th inst. we learn, that the Prefect had gone to Colmar, to concert with the Baron de Frimont requisite measures for the evacuation by the Austrian Corps d'Armee. Some of the Regiments were to commence their march on Wednesday and yesterday. Some of the Austrian troops are to form part of the garri son of Mayence. " The Illayence Gazette mentions, that prepa rations were making there tor the passage of a Russian Corps d'Artnie of 20,000 men from France, who were expected to arrive the 20th November. " The Exchange was shut yesterday. " AIX-LA-CHAPELLE, OCT. 13.—A conference was held yesterday morning at the hotel of the Prince de Hardenberg. In the evening that Mi nister gave a dinner to the Duke of Wellington, the Duke de Richelieu, &c. The Sovereigns are anxious firmly to establish the basis of a gene- ral peace. " The Grand Duke of Baden sent here the day before yesterday a Charge d'Affaires, who dined yesterday with the Prince de Metternich. " The Grand Duke Michael arrived here the evening before last. " Next Saturday, the lith, the Emperor of Russia will sleep at Valenciennes ; he will pass the morning there, the night and the next day at Maubeuge, and proceed the 20th to Sedan. " The troops stationed on that line will occupy all the villages bordering on the Little River Belle, and will have a sham tight they will then unite before Famars, and defile in the presence of • their Majesties. " Immediately after the Review the Emperor proceeds to Paris, and returns; it ii:said, to Aix la-Chapelle, the 29th, to sign with his Allies, the documents which will be prepared in the mean time. His Imperial Majesty will remain here till the 10th November, and then proceed to Brussels, where he will remain about a:tortnight. " The departure of the Emperor of. Austria will take place between the 10th and 15111 No vember. The departure of the King of Prussia will be regulated by that of the Emperor of Russia. The Ministers are expected to prolong their stay till December . " Yesterday evening Lady Castlereagh had an assembly, which was numerously attended. " It is believed, that the Congress will take into consideration the means of ensuring the general execution of the principle agreed upon at Vienna, for the Abolition of the Slave Trade. " STRASBURG, OCT. L2.—By the end of this month the evacuation of the left wing of the Army of Occupation will be terminated." From all that we can learn of the opinions of reflecting men, a general alarm prevails on account of the hasty decision of the Allied Powers as to the removal of the Army of Occupation from the French Territories. We have always maintained the opinion that the measure would be pregnant with danger ; that France had not sufficiently recovered from the dreadful shock of her Revolu- tion, and had not sufficiently enjoyed the happi ness of Peace to have settled into a stable and se cure Government.—lt was long ago said by the old Philosopher of Greece, that " the majority are wicked ;" and what he applied to mankind in general, may, we fear, be affirmed of the majority in France. The majority must, in all ages, be, at least, disposed to wickedness, because property is comparatively confined to a few, and all who do not possess it are naturally inclined to look with envy on those who do.—But France was so entirely disorganized and demoralized by her political convulsions, and consequent tyranny, m erg e° under her several Governments, till they r iblc in the Despotism of BUONAPARTE, that a t er t re-action of power may he expected. r f b e 0 0 Country is divided into Parties there can ) t d i, doubt, and those Parties admit of three K': `. f9 . visions--the Military, the Royalist ' s,- end tpe ter i in t bins.

Not that be, perlor' ho t be permitted to regain his former authority, %, to be made use of in order to s pread CO tion all over Europe. Wh a t would the Powers do in such a case ? They must either gblio tip a man, who in revenge would make all V ssi co , attempts . to overthrow every Government I° rope, and from motives of policy also, to est°lflr itio his power in France.. If they refused to give ' up, a pretext would he made to invade their l erl j, tories, and a general war might be e x p ect be How in that case would the several Potei" tes oo able to act with th e same p ower ful comb insit e of their forces as when they effected the deli ance of Europe after the flight of the Tyran t fr o Elba ?

The c rds of the Minister have been verified, and more, for the increase has been at the rate of one hundred and twenty-five thousand pounds.per week, for the last five months ; and, if the French nation remain quiet, we may anti cipate a much greater improvement in the Re venue, coupled with a further reduction of ex pence. 11 we- look to our domestic trade, we find that industry is scarcely equal to demand; at Shef field a sufficient number of workmen cannot be found to keep the increasing trade of that town in common supply ; at Birmingham, Glasgow, and Manchester, every person willing to work may find sufficient labour (with liberal wages) to keep harmony in the cot, and prosperity in the manufactory : none but the idle, with the disso lute, are now on the strole or tramp, as is the phrase with these sons of industry ; in our own happy and loyal county, every loom is employed, every artizan is glad, because they see time cheer ing-promise realized, and now find that Peace brings her handmaid Plenty, and that the stag nation experienced but a short time since, .was the consequent result of the national habits being directed from the war demand, enormous and pre cal ions, to the peace demand, moderate, but in creasing and permanent."
